Overloaded Christians

My sister writes, and she had these to say, stay blessed as you always are…

For a while now I have withdrawn myself from this world, family and anything you can think of. Personally speaking am not that social or something close to that but when it comes to the people I love, I will possibly cross the ocean for them irrespective of how many sharks there are.

I am a Christian , not a saint on the path of becoming one. Am the type of person who will do anything for Christ, go out of my way for Him just to make sure that He smiles, God is my Father, Christ is my elder brother and am the child here. Children are born to please their father and their elder brothers. My intentions in this world is to live right and do what God Christ expects from me. It’s hard most of the time, but hey tell me what should I do?

Being a born again, a Christian, puts us on the spot, right? It puts us on the spotlight. People expect you and always will expect you to behave in a certain way, live in a certain way and even eat at a certain way (gosh if only it were possible). But at the end of the day I question my conscience and ask who am I? What impact do I have in this world? Am I living right? Is this the kind of life God intends me to live?

Many of us especially those young as I have dreams , hopes and the likes. There is a form of expectation we set for ourselves unfortunately when we don’t achieve what was intended we lose it. I am a victim, I will not deny. There are times I look at myself and think am worthless, I have no value whatsoever, no one really gets to understand me. Am the type of girl who locks herself out and faces her demons, but most times I break and fall into small pieces .

As a Christian who has been born again for nearly 12 years , I kind of think that God should have blessed me with more blessings than the few blessings I have now – you get . my mind has come to control me to believe that my prayers are to be answered immediately .After all I have served God for more than a decade , when I ask for this , God should be able to provide pap- you know. Ever had such a mindset or am I the only human being who feels that way.

*by now I believe you have a description of who I am , it could be positive it could be negative. Regardless of what you think of me, keep that thought

At the beginning of the year I was in a mess you know. I kept to myself, smiled when everyone smiled but at the end of the day , I did confide in my pillow. I was physically, emotionally and even spiritually broken. I felt empty. I once recall telling a friend of mine that God doesn’t exist. From a far I could see my life breaking into pieces yet out of all the friends I knew no one was ready to help me pick the pieces . don’t get me wrong I don’t blame them for not helping me , I blame myself and my acting. Even as I write this I personally feel as though God owes me a lot and when I mean a lot I mean a lot .

How many of you can relate to the above scenarios , if not kindly shut your computer and get something to do #forreal.

Proverbs 16:1- to a man belongs to the plans of the heart but from the Lord comes the reply of the tongue. Do you at times find your earthly parents unfair when they fail (for lack of a better word) to give you what you request from them? If this happens, then you are a real human being. There are times we feel as though God is unfair to us but at the end of the day, proverbs 16:1 speaks. Are your motives right when you ask Christ to give you what you asked for. How heavy or empty is your heart when you go before God.

Are you the type of Christian who goes before God with conditions? I used to do that and sometimes, I still do and I don’t think it’s fair enough. If you are the kind of person who does the above kindly STOP! God can do without you but you can’t do without God.

Life is beautiful when you let God deal with your life but life becomes empty when you control God. He is neither a respecter of person nor does he have favorites, but when you touch God’s heart, believe you me you will be like David. Let me tell you something, when you STOP to question yourself by what is not or what is happening in your life – favor of the Lord falls on you like rain. When you overload yourself with unnecessary things and let Jesus take the wheel you become a better Christian. Keep this in mind overloaded Christians fail because they don’t have space for additional blessings, drop the baggage and let God move in your life.

Dear women, is the husband you are seeking from God or is he the one you see

Dear men, is the wife you are looking for so lost in Christ that she sometimes forgets to call you but doesn’t forget to kneel and pray for you each single day of her life.

Let me not bore you with unnecessary issues of my life but, this is my parting shot, If you are a Christian and you are surviving in this world, babe, cut the chase, this is not your portion.
